My mom almost fainted when I told her. Was she just being "mom", or is it really a good score?

Oh my, yes. My junior year, I got a 27, and that was scholarship-worthy. 36 is perfect.

for an 8th grade student that is really good. I got a 33 when I graduated high school
From ACT RESEARCH
There are two primary ways to interpret ACT scores. The first involves comparing an individual student’s score with the scores of all other ACT-tested students. This is called a “norm-referenced” interpretation. The first three sections of this brief give examples of this type of interpretation. Another way of interpreting ACT scores involves describing specific academic skills and knowledge that a student has likely acquired, given the particular score range in which her or his ACT score lies. ACT’s Standards for Transition (described below) offer this “criterion-referenced” type of score interpretation.
For example, an ACT Composite score of 23 earned during the 2001–2002 testing year has a PB of 70. This means that 70% of the 1,069,772 ACT test takers who expected to graduate from high school in the spring of 2001 earned a Composite score of 23 or lower.
From their table
score ///# of people who got the score /// 1 out of every
30 /// 19,374 /// 55
or you can look at it this way
For example, the average ACT Composite score for the 2001 graduating class (the “national” average) is 21.0. The corresponding standard deviation, a measure of how the scores vary around the average, is 4.7.2 We know from statistical theory that about 95% of students will score within plus or minus 2 standard deviations of the average Composite score; i.e., between about 12 and 30
That bit about standard deviation means that if 21 is the average, a score of 30 would be 2 standard deviations above the average, meaning you scored in the 95% of all people who took the test.
